What team are you on?

Team Valor

Team Mystic

Team Instinct

Somehow I feel as though Pokemon Go is a giant prank being played on myself and everyone else, by some pervy japanese billionaire to mine North America of it's reflex based data. So they could selectively recruit love slaves to our countries and take over everything without the use of force.

That is definitely a thought lol Do these things just come to you at random?

It doesn't REALLY matter. You'll be able to find gyms to fight/help no matter your colour. My personal opinion - pick a gym the same colour as your friends. This makes it easier for you to go out as a team and take down other gyms. Especially because you're a low level you're gonna need the CP backup a group would provide. It's also just more fun with friends!
But if none of your friends play then I'd say decide whether you want to be taking over gyms or helping them. Taking over gains you more XP and is in my opinion easier because you get to face off with 6 Pokemon as opposed to 1 if you are just training. So if you would rather fight, then choose the colour that's not popular in your area. If you would rather train, then choose the colour that is popular.

Don't forget about the pokecoins you earn when you beat gyms and leave your pokemon to defend it! These can add up quickly and get you cool things like bag upgrades so you don't have to continually toss items

Hahaha poor Hitmonchan. Those types are purely just Pokedex fluffers.
I feel they need to broaden the common types found. I have given up on catching the common spawns because I'm so tired of them. Variety is the spice of life and whatnot. :p

@-Toxxic;;* Could not agree more! Maybe it's a good thing I trashed my phone and have to take a few days off, maybe when I get my new one there will have been an update that actually made something better!!
I was still catching all those dumb Zubats though, just to have more XP/stardust and more garbage 'mons to evolve when I use my lucky eggs
